QUOTE(alpha91 @ Jan 7 2018, 11:05 PM) Hi, I still learning on taking landscape photo and I had issue on this image, I wondering is my photography skills problem or my editing skill problem.
I wondering why my picture outcome is not as nice as those on professional no matter how i try to sharpen and improve the contrast. Photography skill problem. When you don't have the fundamental in the first place, you won't know how to edit. When you don't know what is good color and composition, editing has no goal. |

Start by choosing a good scene.  Were you trying to achieve something like this? https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/be...SsgpF9A71A-1-22If you shoot in bad weather then you'll have to PP quite a fair bit to get it to look good. That also you need to work on composition first. |

Lens - Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 <=- you need it to be 18 or wider if you want to cover more ground.

No, not referring to aperture. I'm referring to focal length.
Not necessarily need to shoot in RAW format either. RAW format also no use if you have no clue what the final outcome should be.

People will tell you to shoot more.  I disagree. You should think more. THINK of what type of photo you want to produce, after that you have to think where to shoot. Look at more pictures, see how they compose. Don't blindly go in hentam, it won't work well that way. |
